So, people on here who know me, understand my love interest for Volkswagen. And with my driver's license about a month away, my auntie and uncle bought this Bug for me. Well, it's actually for my uncle, who in a few years, will be converting it, via kit, into a Porsche 550 Spider. But in the mean time, it's mine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)
(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1157554_10202107429678628_169187956_n.jpg) (IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1466200_10202107429398621_287489582_n.jpg) So she's a 1970, but running a 1600. She's very pretty on the outside, and is largely free of rust, but I keep finding things that make it seem like the previous owner didn't really care about details... it's missing glove box insert, sun visors, assist straps, rear seatbelts; the whole rear seat seems to be from a different year or something... but it's free for me, so I'm not really complaining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) First proper trip out we took her up a local scenic back road, which is very popular with motorcyclists. (IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1484063_10202113888040083_1032666529_o.jpg) The thing which became most evident from this little excursion is the noise. Yes, it's an old VW; yes, it's never going to be quiet... but this is a special case. I intend to use this as a daily driver for at least a few months, until I can save for my own car, and there's only so much gearbox whine and road noise one can handle. |

How the Bug currently sits:
